The three-day getaway shrank to a one-day get away, but it was a great getaway. Reading, talking, walking, a beautiful dinner at a beautiful old inn, the place we went on our honeymoon. One of these days we’ll get a real  vacation, maybe next year, but small vacations are sweet. We feel refreshed, recharged. I did not miss the farm, I loved having no chores, no dogs to walk, sleeping late. I’m going to review “Little Known Fact” by Christine Sneed tonight, and also excerpting another story from Florence Walrath’s wonderful journal. Tomorrow, plunging back into my Simon book, somewhere in there beginning to select photos for my photo e-book, “Love And Light From Bedlam Farm.” Dogs, donkeys, herding, sunrises, sunsets, landscapes, barns and more.

Glad to have gone. Glad to be back. Our day-away was cloudy, snowy and cold but this beautiful old house in Chester, Vt. brightened the day. Had to pull over and take a photo.
